On a visit to another fort here in Oman (Al Hazm Fort) I had the services of a guide who explained the convoluted passages and in some cases dead-ends! Confusion…… If the enemy breached the gates, the rampage through the fort was impeded by indecision; this gave the defenders enough time to mount a new defence.
Up, down or straight on ?

Beautiful work David. A very interesting image 🙂
Thanks,
One of those images that almost made itself if you know what I mean.

These old forts are absolutely fascinating!
They are aren’t they, I can spend hours walking around looking in all the dark corners. Almost expect Beau Geste or the Légion étrangère will suddenly appear!
